Part 1 B-
Color:
This picture shows that the little boy is young and he is walking down the street. Also, it looks like there is a restraunt or shop to the side of him. I can also tell that children back in the day wore different clothes from what we wear today. He is wearing overalls and a hat, and most kids now wouldn't dress like that.
Black & White:
This is a good picture to show how the Great Depression was. Many African Americans struggled with providing food to their families. They also struggled because of the amount of work they had to do. In this picture they are in Decatur, Alabama. Ingalls Shipping Company and the workers are called welders who are constructing a barge. This picture was taken in July 1942 by Delano, Jack.
Part 2B:
Alabama-Dallas County-Selma
Observe: In this picture, there is a dog shown in the left hand corner. There also is 4 people dressed in tuxedos and hats looking at the ground. They are arranged by one person all the way to the left and the other three to the right of the wall. The setting looks like there is a sale going on in the store. Also, I think it might be a tuxedo store. I notice that there is a old fashion car to the right of the picture. We obviously don't have many of those in life today. Also, it looks like there are no doors in the store, just looks like anyone can go in at anytime. There are pictures and signs on the walls which look odd. Analyze: In this image, I think there is a sale going on for tuxedos and hats because as you can see there are price tags on the jackets. I don't know why this picture was made, possibly because it is busy and the store is popular. It looks like people from the right of the picture are going in the store and looking at the people sitting on the chairs. I can learn that they have those people on display to see how good they look on themselves. Also, I think the store is on a main street because you can see the parking lines and the sidewalk. I think if we made this today, the picture would be in color. I think we would have better quality suits. Also, there probably wouldn't be a stray dog wandering around on the sidewalk. Today, we would we a dog on a leash being walked by its owner. Also, we most likely wouldn't see a car like that now a days. Finally, the store and the windows/doors would be in better condition and look more appealing to customers. Question:I think they might of taken this picture because maybe it was someones famous store. I don't know when this picture was taken but it probably was a while ago because the picture is in black and white. Now a days it would most likely be in color. It was probably taken with a camera that could only take neutral colors, like black and white.
Alabama-Eutaw
Observe: In this image, I see a couple possibly working on a huge farm. I notice that the picture is in black and white and that the plants look like they are in good shape. I think they are either harvesting the plants or pulling weeds. The physical setting looks dull because the skies look cloudy and there are not a lot of houses like we would see today or cars/roads. In this picture it is more like farm land and a couple of trees. Analyze:I think this image was made to show people now or later on in life how it was back then. I think it is very different from what we have today. There is a women and a male using a certain tool to pull the weeds or the plant out. I think there are a lot of things missing from this images. For example, today we would see buildings, roads, people, grass, a lot more trees, and cars. I think the only thing that would be the same in this image is that people now a days still have farms but not as large. I think it looks really time consuming to harvest all of those plants. Question: I think someone would take this picture because they can reflect on it now and say what it was like back then. This picture looks old because it is in black and white and also, the two farmers look like they don't have good quality farming clothes. It looks like they just wrapped cloth around themselves and found a hat.
Alabama-Greensboro
Observe: In this image I see four people. Probably young children standing on a shack or a farm house. I notice that there is a bucket and the children's feet are all white because of the dirt and mess they have to deal with. I notice that there clothes don't look too clean from what we would wear today. They have clothes in them and stains. It doesn't look like they have good shoes that will support there feet. The physical setting in this picture is old. The house looks like it was built by wooden planks and just thrown together. Analyze: I think this image was made to see what life would be like now. Life today, we would rarely see this type of house or shack. Houses today have foundation and they are clean. The audience in this image was probably the children that live in the small house. It must be difficult moving around and trying to get clean with four or more people in such a small house. However, at least people have a roof over there head because it could be worse. I don't think anything in this picture would be the same today. Today, we would see clean kids and clothes that are in good shape. Also, houses today do not have wooden planks like that. Question: I think someone who took this picture, took it because it shows how life was for the children and how they have to live with having clothes and stains and probably wearing the same clothes everyday. I wonder what it would be like not to shower everyday or put on new clothes. Or even wear socks, it looks like they have poor shoes and there feet do not look to good. This picture was probably taken around the afternoon, it looks like it would be a farm house because they have a bucket. However, I think life back then was really tough.
Part 2B-
Negro drinking at "Colored" water cooler in streetcar terminal, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Observe:In this picture I notice that there is separate buckets that are labeled colored, or white. The first thing that I noticed was that there were two signs on either ends of the picture. It looks like they are the same sign that says, "White men Colored Women." On these sign, you can see a pointer hand that directs the people where to go to drink. I notice that this person is wearing something that no one would wear now a days. Analyze:The store looks very dirty and doesn't look good to drink out of. The physical setting in this image is that the place is white and at the bottom of the walls they're dirty. I think this picture was made because to show how people were separated and had to drink out of different bottles. Question: What's missing from this picture that would be seen today is that it would be more cleaner and it wouldn't have signs that are meant for different types of people. I don't think anything would be the same in life today because everyone has equal rights.
Street scene near bus station in Durham, North Carolina
Observe: In this picture I notice three young children that are walking downtown I also notice that there is a sign that says white ladies only. Obviously back then in the Great Depression people were racist and had separate bathrooms for different races. I think this is unfair because you just go to the bathroom and leave, I don't think there is a big deal if they have one bathroom for ladies where anyone can go in. Analyze: The physical setting is that there is a car to the right of the picture. It looks like a car that you wouldn't see today. There is a sign that says Southern Dunces Ice Cream, I believe. I think this picture was made to show people how it was strongly against whites and blacks. In life today, there would probably be a bathroom that says Ladies room because anyone is welcomed. Also, the sidewalks look dirty, probably because the picture is in black and white. Question: I think this picture was made to show how life back then was different and show much it changed.
At the bus station in Durham, North Carolina
Observe: In this picture the first thing I noticed was that there is a sign that says bingo tonight. It looks like the poster is spelled differently. Also, there is a poster that says "Hilter's love life revealed." Also, in this picture there is a train that says "Cardina Coach Company." Also, there is a separate poster that says colored waiting room. Once again, people are against being with blacks or white. Analyze: I think what is missing from this picture is that it is in black and white. Also, our trains are longer and can hold more. Also, we wouldn't see posters that separate people from whites and blacks. Question: I think someone who took this picture wanted to know what it would be like at a train station. There are a lot of things that are different from what was back then and now.
The interview about Mr. Garavelli, he was Italian. His job was a stone cutter. He lived in Barre, Vermont. His interviewer was John Lynch. There were a lot of stone cutters that died in Sicila. They have better equipment, "they got to use the suctions." Although, a lot of men died. It seems like kids that go to school are bad. In the Great Depression, many people did not have jobs and so they couldn't afford anything for themselves or for their family. These people who did have a job, wouldn't get paid a lot. Mr. Garavelli struggled with money and it hurt not being able to afford anything. Another interview about Alice Cauldes. Alice was a mill worker in Concord, North Carolina. The date was September 2, 1938. Her interviewer was Muriel L. Wolff. Her story was she was born in a mill. She started as a mill worker at the age 10.She was so little that she had to stand on a box to do her work. She was a spinner at first and then she learned how to spool. However, once they got new winding machines, she asked the other workers to help her learn and she did.( http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/alice.html )The last interview is about Anna Novak (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/anna.html ). She was a house worker. She was born in Wisconsin, about 30 years ago. She is married with two boys, ages 10 and 13. Her education occurred when she was in 8th grade and one year and a half of high school in St. Hedwig's Orphanage. She was located in Chicago Illinois The date was April 25-27, 1939. Her interviewer was Betty Burke. Anna's story was that she had to work 8 years of the 'yards.' She says that it is a lot different now because of the union. They used to buy presents for the holidays. It says, "you'd see the men coming to work with hip pockets bulging and take the foremen off in corners, handing over their half pints." You can get along good if you let your boss slap you in your behind, for this reason she would want to work anywhere else but the stockyards because she didn't want her boss to be psychical with her. Another interview was about Jim Cole(http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/jimcole.html), who was an African American. His occupation was also a house packer. This was located in Chicago Illinois on May 18, 1938. His interviewer was also Betty Burke. He worked in the Beef Kill section. He has been in this place for 20 years. You have to have talent to do this job. Jim wanted to join the AFL union, Amalgamted Butchers and Meat Cutters, the union rejected his offer. This was because he was a negro. That is the only reason why they did not want him to be in the AFL union. I think this is really disrespectful and racist. I think everyone should have equal rights and freedom to have any job if they work hard for it, I personally do not think it is fair for people to decline a job because they are black. The last interview was about Clyde "Kingfish" Smith. He was an African American. His occupation was a street vendor. He was located at the basement of B.Shapiro, 300E 101 Street, New York City. This took place in November 29, 1939. His interviewer was Marion Charles Hatch ( http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/clyde.html ). When he started it was in 1932, he started singing. It was hard times in the Great Depression. Fish was five cents back in the day and people found that hard to believe. Once he was on the streets he would pick up some rhymes and starting singing. He says, "You got to put yourself in it. You've got to feel it. It's got to be more or less an expression, than a routine. Of course, sometimes a drink of King Kong liquor helps." In the Great Depression, money was scarce. People were hard workers and determined to strive for money, because they needed to make a living. Women were maids, and housekeepers. Men were stone cutters, butchers, or even street singing. People in the Great Depression took racism really seriously. For example, some companies did not want whites doing a job or blacks.
